> I was just reading the Vanagon information on Crashtest.com, a website about > auto safety and (you guessed it) crashtest results. http://www.crashtest.com/volkswagen/ie.htm (beware the numerous pop-ups) > I noticed that they give the Vanagon a 'poor' rating in frontal impact, and > an overall 'poor' rating, yet the Swedish Folksam Report, which is based on > real-life accident reports, gives it an 'excellent' rating. i find it very peculiar that they differentiate between Caravelle 80-91 Vanagon 83-91 and Caravelle 92-94 Caravelle 95-02 Eurovan 93-94 Eurovan 95-03 especially since the Caravelle 80-91 has exactly the same scores as the Vanagon on the tests, but comes up with a different overall score .. which only proves to me that all this is basically crap in the u.s.: if the insurance companies don't like you, you get a low score. :( joel |
